VATOS URBAN TACOS. This is one of Seoul’s newer restaurants (apparently been open for about a year) and serves Korean-Americanized mexican food. Located in Itaewon, this place is always popular so it’s best to go in early and put your name down on the waiting list for a table. We arrived at peak hour and waited an hour and 45 minutes but it was well worth it.

ANDONGJANG. (안동장) This is one of the oldest restaurants in Seoul. The first thing I noticed about Korea is how fast a shop can open and how fast it can close down and be replaced, so when a shop lasts longer than a few months I normally see it as a big feat. This shop has been open since 1948 and serves a Korean-Asian fusion menu. They are most popular for their sweet and sour pork as well as their oyster jjampong. This is located near the cultural area of Insadong.

TO SOK CHON (토속촌). Located near Gyeongbukgong Palace, it is famous for a Korean dish called Samgyetang. When we first arrived a line out the front door went down the road and around a corner so we knew the food must be good. Luckily, the wait was only about 25 minutes. This dish is a young, spring chicken (stuffed with chestnuts, garlic, dried jujubes, rice and ginseng) which is slow cooked for hours. It is a highly nutritious and delicious meal.
